Sharing Wonder

Welcome to Magicana’s “Postcards of Magicians” Exhibition

Magicana is please to share this wonderful collection – originally collected by Msgr. Foy – of over 300 Postcards of Magicians.

For decades, Msgr Foy has carefully gathered and preserved postcards that feature magic, magicians or magical themes. We originally mounted this online exhibition in 2005 and have revised it so our visitors can search for certain magicians or ephemera; comment or share thoughts and stories about any particular card; and, hopefully, help us identify the few missing names of postcard subjects.

To make a comment, simply click on the postcard's title and leave a reply.

Take your time, sign the guest book, and please visit often. We hope you enjoy Postcards of Magicians.

Magicpedia

Magicana is delighted to partner with Magicpedia, the free encyclopedia dedicated to preserving the history and techniques of magic, to provide additional information about the subjects of the postcards.
